Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy Technology
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Background:

  • FLASH radiotherapy utilizes ultra-high dose-rate radiation for improved treatment outcomes, potentially sparing healthy tissues.
  • Accurate target localization is crucial for effective proton FLASH beam delivery, requiring rapid and precise imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a deep learning (DL)-based image-guided framework for fast volumetric image reconstruction.
  • To enable accurate target localization for proton FLASH therapy by reconstructing patient anatomy from orthogonal x-ray projections.

Main Methods:

  • A framework was designed with modules for kV x-ray projection acquisition, DL-based volumetric image generation, image quality analysis, and water equivalent thickness (WET) evaluation.
  • Volumetric reconstruction was investigated using kV projection pairs from different source angles (135° and 225°).
  • A leave-phase-out cross-validation approach was employed on 3D computed tomography (CT) datasets from 30 lung cancer patients.

Main Results:

  • The DL framework successfully reconstructed volumetric patient anatomy, including tumors and organs at risk, from orthogonal x-ray projections.
  • Optimal image quality was achieved with kV projections at 135° and 225° source angles.
  • Achieved patient-averaged metrics included mean absolute error of 75±22 HU, peak signal-to-noise ratio of 19±3.7 dB, structural similarity index measure of 0.938±0.044, and WET error of -1.3%±4.1%.

Conclusions:

  • The developed framework accurately reconstructs volumetric images using two orthogonal x-ray projections, suitable for guiding proton FLASH therapy.
  • The integrated WET module aids in identifying proton beam-specific anatomical variations.
  • This rapid volumetric imaging capability supports efficient and precise proton FLASH treatment delivery.
